From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

X11 has been mostly solid for me. Wonder if Wayland would be worth messing with.

To temper your expectations you'll likely have some problems. But you'll have the ability in future to make use of new display technologies, like VRR and HDR

If you have NVIDIA, wait until the explicit sync stuff makes it to your distro. Otherwise, go for it!
